PSA to end the year; if you feel like something is off with your body, please listen to it. back in October I complained to my best friend (she’s a nurse- don’t be like me. don’t annoy your nurse friends. they are your friends, not your doctors. love you, Alex and thanks for being the best!) about lower back pain and how I think it might be a kidney stone. I’d never had one before so I had no clue what it feels like.. the pain soon passed and I assumed the kidney stone passed as well… that was anything but the truth. I went to Disney in the beginning of November and bawled my eyes out on the bus back to my hotel. me.. bawling my eyes out.. in the “happiest place on earth”. WILD. the stone in fact did not pass, but was stuck and blocking up my kidney and bladder with all of the junk its supposed to be filtering out. this turned into sepsis and the worst pain of my life. a 4 day hospital stay, pumped with antibiotics and fluids, immense pain, shakes and fevers, stents, high blood sugars that are uncontrollable due to infection (diabetes & infections are not friends), low blood pressure coming out of anesthesia that didn’t want to come back up, and now just one procedure left in a few weeks. I am hoping to start my new year off in better health. I have always been a “push through it” person. a “pain is temporary” person. an “i’ll sleep when im dead” person.. I continued working through my pain. I never want to let my clients down. I never want to miss a detail, never miss a showing or any aspect of the deal..this is not a helpful mind set when it comes to your physical and mental well being, but I am learning and moving forward.
I am so thankful to have such wonderful clients who care about me and my health and I am so thankful to everyone who pushed through with me. thank you for allowing me to guide you through all of your real estate needs no matter what size. thank you for trusting me and my expertise and thank you for believing in me. thank you for waiting for the pain to pass with me during showings and walking super slow up the stairs to everyone at the end of the year 😂
big, HUGE shout out to my mom who has quite literally waited on me hand and foot. she is a saint and should be praised by everyone Tracey Thomas 💕
this christmas will look very different for me. my family hosts christmas eve. I can’t help cook, bake, clean or decorate. I will lay on the couch, hopped up on pain meds and antibiotics, hurting when I move. please take care of yourselves in 2024. be kind to your body and minds. be kind to others. be a bit selfish. let this upcoming year be about you, your health and well being along with your family. become a better person in all aspects. there is always room for growth and improvement.
I am taking a few days off of social media to spend time with family and friends. I will be back in the new year, ready to push through once again, but this time I will listen to my body and mind. I love you all. merry christmas and I look forward to serving all of your real estate needs in 2024 ❤️ I anticipate big things for myself so stay tuned.
